Hello californiasunflower,

You can change this within the Focus settings, by allowing certain people and/or apps to "break through" do not disturb.

Open Settings
Tap on Focus
Tap on Do Not Disturb

From here, you can select people (Contacts) and apps that will ignore Do Not Disturb and notify you.

I hope this helps!
